Hello Steve, Please enjoy our Saints News! 

HEAD OF SCHOOL MUSING

I’m excited to announce the pre-launch of VCHS Gives, this year’s fundraising blitz supporting our school’s All Saints Fund. Gifts to the All Saints Fund bridge the gap between what parents pay in tuition and the total cost to educate VCHS Saints with excellence. Gifts directly support academics, arts, athletics, and most importantly Christian faith and character formation. 

The campaign will run from December 9^th-11^th and coincides with Colorado Gives Day. Our theme this year is VCHS Gives! Why? Your generosity inspires our students and teachers to give back through time, talent, and treasure. We’re inspired to give even more when you give! 

Each VCHS Gives day focuses on how impactful your gifts will be for our Saints.

DAY 1 - Monday, December 9 - Instilling Faith, Hope, and Love

Our teachers and students work together creating an environment that instills faith, hope, and love in everything we do. Support our ability to offer innovative courses and programming. Support our community as we foster athletic success and artistic expression. 

DAY 2 - Tuesday, December 10 - Equipping Mind, Body, and Spirit.

Academics, athletics and the arts are essential to a Christian education. Support our programming that continually evolves to achieve our goals. Our new counseling center and entrepreneurial initiatives will help equip our students for their futures. 

DAY 3 - Wednesday, December 11 - Contributing Time, Talent, and Treasure

We are grateful for the generosity of our VCHS family. Your gifts inspire us all to volunteer and become ambassadors for VCHS. Your generosity helps us continually innovate and customize our course offerings to prepare students for college and life. 

For those who like to give online, please give through Colorado Gives Day so that we can leverage your gifts with their Incentive Fund. Although we don’t officially launch until December 9^th, you don’t have to wait. Click here and make a gift today.

For those who like to give by check or through other means, we would be grateful to receive your gifts by December 31^st. For you, more information can be found on the VCHS website.

Join a giving level – 14er Society or Base Camp. Participation is what matters, and all gifts are vital to our school’s success as we equip mind, body, and spirit for lives of purpose, service, and leadership.

Let’s Go Saints!

HUMAN BODY SYSTEMS CLASS TAKES A FIELD TRIP

Ms. Wiebe and Mrs. Burner took the VCHS Human Body Systems students to Vail Health to the Steadman Philippon Research Institute for a Robotics and Surgical Skill hands-on lab experience. Students learned shoulder anatomy and dissection, use of the endoscope and camera to explore internal anatomy and completed a skin suturing lab.
